Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum rollers, and in particular to a vacuum roller with adjustable air intake. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technology, after the pulp is uniformly treated in the papermaking process, due to the large amount of water in the pulp, it is necessary to press out the water during the paper forming process. Vacuum rolls are commonly used dewatering components on papermaking machines, and they play a decisive role in paper forming, dewatering, and the speed of the paper machine. They also play a key role in the physical properties, optical properties, and printability of the paper. When vacuum rolls dewater the paper, if the efficiency is too low, the air volume requirement will be too large to achieve the required efficiency, thereby increasing the cost. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides a vacuum roller with adjustable air intake, which solves the problem in the prior art where the vacuum roller is too inefficient when dewatering paper, resulting in an excessive air volume requirement to achieve the required efficiency, thus increasing costs.
[0004] The technical solutions adopted in the embodiments of this application are as follows.
[0005] An adjustable air intake vacuum roller includes a roller body, a flap disposed within the roller body, a partition disposed within the flap, and an adjusting member disposed within the flap; the flap rotates within the roller body; the partition separates a first space and a second space within the flap; a first groove is formed on the partition to connect the first space and the second space; the adjusting member is located within the first space and its actuating end corresponds to the first groove; the second space corresponds to an air outlet; a first air inlet and a second air inlet are formed on the flap; the first air inlet corresponds to the first space; the second air inlet corresponds to the second space.
[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the adjusting component is adjusted to 30% of the air volume in the first space.
[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the adjusting component includes a crossbar, a support component disposed on the door panel, and a sealing component that seals the first groove; the sealing component corresponds to the first groove, and an inclined surface corresponding to the first groove is provided on the side wall of the sealing component; the crossbar is threadedly connected to the support component; the sealing component is fixed to the crossbar; one end of the crossbar passes through the door panel and protrudes to the outside, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the distance between the sealing component and the first groove to control the air intake efficiency.
[0008] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:
[0009] 1. By controlling the opening and closing degree of the first slot through the adjusting component, the airflow distribution between the first and second spaces can be adjusted in real time. This dynamic adjustment avoids the ineffective energy consumption caused by the traditional fixed airflow, allowing the vacuum roller to accurately match the actual needs during dewatering, significantly improving dewatering efficiency while reducing the fan load. The first and second spaces, separated by a partition, form a controllable airflow channel through the first slot. The partitioned design of the first and second air inlets optimizes the negative pressure distribution, reduces airflow turbulence, and enhances dewatering uniformity, thereby improving paper forming quality and physical properties. The adjusting component uses a threaded fit between the crossbar and the support component, combined with the inclined design of the sealing component, to finely adjust the distance between the sealing component and the first slot. This structure is easy to operate and highly accurate, ensuring the stability and repeatability of airflow control, adapting to the needs of different paper types or production speeds. By optimizing the airflow distribution and reducing ineffective airflow loss, the system airflow requirement is reduced by approximately 30%-50%, thus solving the problem of excessive power consumption.
